the only thing that I want to know is what are the actual fuel flow rates for the 727.I looked it up in FSNav and it tells me that for climb it should be around 15000 lbs/hr. That can't be right, because I'm getting at cruise power about 400 lbs/hr per engine.does anyone know what the correct numbers are on the fuel flow for climb, cruise, and descent?Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes, I found problems in trying to gain altitude. I like the aircraft (have also downloaded quite a few textures for it for AI flying), but found to my dismay that the plane would not continue to gain altitude - in fact quite the opposite.I went into the config file and made the following amendments:[TurbineEngineData]fuel_flow_gain=0.002inlet_area=22.000 //was 18.000rated_N2_rpm=29920.000static_thrust=20000.000 //was 16000.000afterburner_available=0reverser_available=1[jet_engine]thrust_scalar=1.250 //was 1.000Now increases altitude after take off.I am no expoert on tinkering with the config file. This just happened top work for me.CheersMike
